Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"Don't worry too much. I think since Doctor Long already knows this possibility, he should have his own plans. We can then find a chance to confirm it." Zhao Heng said with his arms folded.

Zi Xuan nodded after hearing this. "That's right. It's still some time from here to the rainforest. If Doctor Long has his own plans, he will probably discuss them with us. Besides, even if something really happens, I won't let the situation develop to this point."

She looked serious and seemed to have made some decision.

Back to the main road, everyone got into Kailin's SUV again. Bai Yan sat in the passenger seat and was responsible for giving directions. Mo Yan, Zi Xuan, Zhao Heng and Long Xianlin sat in the back, discussing in low voices from time to time.

Soon, under Bo Yan's guidance, Kailin drove an off-road vehicle to a quiet manor.

After getting off the car, everyone looked around before walking into the manor.

Opening the gate, a field of flowers greeted her. Then, a rich yet not overpowering floral fragrance filled her face, blending with the fresh scent of earth after rain. Zixuan's nostrils twitched slightly, distinguishing the sweet aroma of roses, the elegant scent of jasmine, and a faint hint of herbs.

"It's so beautiful." Kailin sighed as she looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her.

"Well, this scene is comparable to the mansion of a rich family." Mo Yan said with his arms folded.

The garden wasn't large, but every detail bore signs of meticulous care. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the petals, which swayed gently in the breeze. Not far away, the sound of a gurgling stream emanated; it turned out to be a man-made canal.

In the center of the yard is Bai Yan's wooden house. Although it looks dilapidated now, it looks so quaint because it is decorated with ivy, moss and various vine-like plants.

Bai Yan scratched his head and said with a smile, "Thank you for your compliments. The flowers grown here are just common ones, nothing special. If you don't mind, please take a seat in the inner room."

Everyone nodded and followed Bo Yan toward the cabin. The wooden planks creaked softly underfoot, mingling with the distant chirping of birds. Zixuan noticed the intricate vine patterns carved into the porch pillars, casting long, thin shadows in the setting sun.

As soon as he stepped into the room, a faint scent of sandalwood lingered in his nostrils, mingled with the aroma of ink from aged books. Sunlight filtered through the carved window lattices, casting dappled light on the floor. Mo Yan unconsciously took a deep breath, but the floating dust particles caused him to sneeze.

"Please take a seat." Bai Yan drew aside the curtains, and the afternoon light instantly filled the room. Zhao Heng's fingers brushed the surface of the coffee table, which felt cool and smooth. It was polished from a single piece of natural stone.

After sitting down, Kailin looked around. Seeing the gorgeous yet simple scene around her, she couldn't help but sigh, "I never knew Mr. Bai Yan came from a family of scholars."

Bai Yan took out a set of tea sets from an old cabinet and said with a smile, "Haha, Miss Kailin thinks very highly of me. The furniture and furnishings here were all custom-made and carefully cared for by Glento."

"Oh? So your wife is also a learned person with refined tastes?" Zhao Heng took the teacup from Bai Yan, feeling the warm touch of porcelain against his fingertips. The tea swirls in the cup, exuding a refreshing cedar aroma that blends with the sandalwood that already fills the room.

Bai Yan smiled softly again: "Everyone is flattering me. Although Ge Lian and I have some leisure time on weekdays, it is purely self-interest and mutual admiration. We are not really elegant people."

"Come to think of it, we've been busy all morning, and I'm sure you're all hungry. There happen to be some grains left in the kitchen. If you don't mind, you can make do with them." He smiled again.

Long Xianlin nodded: "Well, thank you for your help."

At this time, Kailin spoke again: "By the way, where is Miss Ge Lian now? Do you need us to help take care of her?"

Bai Yan waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. Ge Lian... has been ill in bed ever since that incident. She should still be sleeping now. Please try not to disturb her."

Hearing this, Long Xianlin sighed and said, "Is that so? Well, after all, the patient also needs to rest. We just need to wait here patiently."

Bai Yan nodded with relief after hearing this: "Doctor Long, a doctor is kind-hearted. Thank you for your understanding."

After saying that, he turned and left the room.

After Bai Yan left, Long Xianlin began to look around again after confirming that there was no one around.

At this moment, Kailin suddenly sighed: "What a good husband."

Mo Yan nodded: "Looking at the environment here, I can really feel Mr. Bai Yan's care for his wife." His fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the teacup, and the friction between the porcelain and his skin made a slight rustling sound.

"It's obvious that Mr. Bai Yan loves Miss Ge Lian very much," Zhao Heng said. "Everything here is kept neat and tidy. And he just said that everything from customizing the furniture to arranging the furniture was done by Miss Ge Lian herself."

Kailin turned to look at Zixuan: "You mentioned before that his wife died three years ago, right?"

Zi Xuan nodded after hearing this. "Yes, he said that three years ago, he and Miss Ge Lian encountered danger when they went up the mountain to collect herbs. Although he escaped death, Miss Ge Lian was poisoned by a monster and has not woken up since then."

"But according to common sense, can a person who has been poisoned really survive for more than three years? Especially when the poison is from the poison in the rainforest," Mo Yan asked.

At this time, Long Xianlin slowly spoke: "Common sense, if there is no effective treatment, long-term use of pain relief drugs can last for a long time, but to persist in this way for three years, I'm afraid..."

After the words were spoken, the atmosphere fell silent again.

Zi Xuan was silent for a long time before sighing angrily, "It seems the answer is about to come out."

Kailin asked worriedly, "So the prescription Mr. Bai Yan found is indeed..."

Mo Yan nodded. "Ah, without a doubt."

"What should we do now? What if the prescription doesn't work? Wouldn't he have to..."

Zhao Heng frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "We're not sure whether the prescription will work, but no matter what, we can't just watch Bai Yan sink into despair. Let's find an opportunity later and have a frank talk with him to persuade him to face reality."

"But he's completely focused on saving Ge Lian right now. Will he listen to us?" Zi Xuan said worriedly. "Judging from his previous behavior, he has placed great hope on this prescription, perhaps even a little paranoid."

At this time, Long Xianlin, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again: "Sometimes, only 'cruelty' can break a person's fantasy, and only 'separation' can pull people back to reality."

Mo Yan was stunned for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Really? So you really..."

Long Xianlin was silent again. He did not explain because there was no need. Reality would tell everyone the answer in due time.

Yes, he did know whether the so-called resurrection pill was useful, but the price was immeasurable.
